If PTI wanted to do something unique, they should not have increased salaries, it should have instead brought down the prices of essential commodities. By increasing salaries a limited number of people benefits but with price control the entire popilation of KPK. Similarly nothing has been done for senior citizens. I suggest 50 % rebate should be given to people above 60 years of age on their arms and 800 CC motor vehicle renewal fees.
